Now that we’re a startup with some success, we meet a lot of people who want to learn from our story. Since we started playing with Facebook over a year ago, we’ve built Facebook apps and marketing campaigns used by millions of people. But one of the things people find most interesting is how we are bootstrapped.

The short version: We built a simple product that was meant to be sold right from the get-go.

Who doesn’t have a love and hate relationship with Facebook? Love it because it can be a source of business and new job creation by female founders!

Here are 5 female founders of tech startups making money off Facebook:
